just in the last day nancy pelosi offering wiggle room. john boehner, mitch mcconnell saying they want the bush tax cuts for everyone. joe, will they have to bend on that? isn't that really the issue? will they bend on the republican side? >> the republicans are going to have to bend. we have to get this done. we've only got 46 days before the -- before we would fall off this fiscal cliff and to fall off the cliff would mean 3.9% hit for gdp next year. we can't afford that because that would potentially throw us into another recession. we want to avoid that at all costs. the big issue i think for most people would be taxes. most people -- and governor rendell said, well, it's not just a matter of tax increases on the wealthiest americans but it's a host of spending challenges that we face across the board that would impact millions of people and certainly impact us in a huge way. i think republicans have to bend. republicans are going to be looking at of course cuts in spending and cuts in entitlements as well as the possibility of new rev

it's been decided and nancy pelosi is only bothering the president. where he gets the idea that we can raise revenue without raising the rates and have that acceptable, i have no clue. but nancy pelosi and the president are reading from the same page. >> so how confident are you a deal is going to get done and, if so, when? >> well, a deal has to be done. what kind of a deal is going to be done? first of all, this guy is not going to fall by the end of the year. it's how much do we really accomplish instead of putting everything into next year. we can't do reform between now and the end of the year. that's where most of the problems are going to exist. if we're going to improve our involvement here, we can't do it this year. acting in an emergency situation if we cooperate and everybody gives a little bit to get us past this, we can and will do a job. >> let me ask you this because what i think a lot of voters hear is not so much we're going to do something to keep us off the fiscal cliff now so we can get the important details done later, they hear t

now, we told you nancy pelosi wants to remain democratic leader in the house. and just last hour, maine senator-elect angus king says he will caucus with the democrats. he won his seat as an independent. >> i'd like to repeat that. by associating myself with one side i am not in automatic opposition to the other. no one party can control the outcome of our collective deliberations. as bill clinton might say, it's just arithmetic. >> john boehner is making his bid for speaker of the house official in eye letter sent to his colleagues he says his priorities are taking on the president and democrats in the senate. he calls house republicans the last line of defense. mitch mcconnell is already thinking about 2014. the day after the election he held a fund-raiser for 1,000 bucks a person you could attend the reception. and here's a great perk about being first lady. michelle obama didn't want to wait until january to watch the third season of "downton abbey" so it sent dvds to the white house. the three of us are -- with hands on hips, where's ours? where's ours? >>

nancy pelosi making her position on that very, very clear. take a listen to this. >> is that something that is acceptable? >> no. >> nott all, no way? >> no, the president made it very clear in his campaign that there is not enough, there are not enough resources -- what you just described as a formula and a blueprint for hammering our future. >> you know, dana, if she is hardening her stance here as we watch the rhetoric, does it matter here, because nancy p pelosi, really, how big of a seat does she have at the table right now? >> no. she is, and something of a highchair at this point. she is not particularly relevant to this debate. the president was nowhere near as inflexible as that in his news conference, and it is not as if this is all of the sudden some new republican proposal. this was the basis for the bowles/simpson report, and it is the likeliest way to get this thing done, and it is the likeliest path to compromise and the house democrats are not terribly relevant in this, but on the other hand, you do want to stake out some extr
